WINDOW ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 375,341, dated December27, 1887.

Application filed June 6, 1887. Serial No. 240,373. (No model.)

Improvements in Window Attachments, of

which the following is a specification.

The several features of my invention and the advantages arising fromtheir use, conjointly or otherwise, will be apparent from to thefollowing description.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figurel is a front view of a window provided with my improvements, thefront-edge strip being partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a sectionalelevation of a window provided with my improvements, the sashes beingswung out. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the box and swinging arm forattachment to the inside sash. Fig. 4is a perspective view of the boxand swinging arm for attachment to the outer sash. Fig. 5 is aperspective view of the part attached to the window-frame. Fig. 6 is aperspective view showing the back of the device illustrated in Fig. 4.

The device shown in Fig. 4 consists of a box, A, open at the back, andhaving journaled in it the arm B. The front face of the box A isprovided with the opening a, through The arm B is provided at its freeend with the journalpin b, and also, preferably, with a knob or similardevicc,.b'. The other end of the arm B is fashioned into the head 6which is pref- 5 erably square. The spring 0 is attached to g the backof the box A, and has its free end bearing against the square head b ofthe arm B. The spring 0 tends to hold the arm B in position, either openor closed, after the man- 0. ner of a knife-spring.

The device shown in Fig. 3 is similar in all essential particulars tothat shown in Fig. 4, except that it is preferably smaller in size. Thepreferred forms of boxes to be used in these devices are those shown inthe drawings.

The device shown in Fig. 5 consists of a double box, D D, open at therear, andhaving the openings (2 d in front, one for each compartment ofthe box. The arm E is journaled in the box D in such manner that it maybe swung in and out of the opening. The outer end of the arm E isprovided with the opening 6. The arm E is similarly journaled in thecompartment D, and is provided with the opening 6. The arm E ispreferably longer than the arm E, for reasons which will appearhereinafter.

The sashes F and G are hung on cords, in the usual manner, except thatthe cords are attached to the sashes in such a manner as to be readilydetached therefrom. The preferred means for accomplishing this is thatillustrated in Fig. 2, where the sashes are shown provided with thecountersunk hooks K, and each of the cords H with a ring, h. The cordsH, when detached from the sashes, may be held by catching the rings hover the hook h, placed in the strip between the sash-grooves. The sidestrips, L, forming the outer boundaries of the grooves for the innersash, are hinged to the window-frame in such manner that they may beopened inwardly to permit the inner sash to be removed from the frame.

The device shown in Fig. 3is secured to the front face of the inner sashG, near the edge, on one side only of the sash. It is covered by thestrip L when the latter is closed. The sash has one of these devicesnear its top and one near the bottom, both being set into thesash-frame, so as to be flush with the surface when the arms B areclosed. The outer sash G is similarly provided with two of the devicesshown in Fig. 4-that is, the one having the long arms B..

Two of the devices shown in Fig. 5 are set into the window-frame underthe strip L, preferably toward the bottom of the frame, and the samedistance apart as the co-operating devices on the sashes.

The strip between the sash-grooves on the side of the frame opposite tothat in which the hinge devices are set is made in two parts, the lowerpart, m, being arranged in any manner permitting its easy removal.

The mode of operation of the device is as follows: The strips L arefirst turned out and the sash G raised slightly. The arms E are nextturned out, and then the arms B from the sash G. The sash G is nowlowered and the pins Z) fit in the openings 6 of the arms E.

The sash-cords are now detached and sash swung inward on the hingesformed by the arms B and E, as shown in Fig. 2. Vith the strip mremoved, the sash F may be similarly swung into the room, the longerarms B and E enabling it to swing clear of the sash G.

The special advantages of my device lie in its applicability to anywindow having sliding sashes, and in the use of a solid sash which isbodily swung from the frame. The arrangement is also cheap ofmanufacture and simple in construction.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of a windowsash pro vided with a box having anextensible arm pivoted therein, the said arm being provided with a pinat its end, and a window-frame provided with a box havingan extensiblearm pivoted therein, the said arm being provided with an opening toreceive the pin of the other arm, substantially as and for the purposesspecified.

2. The combination of a window-sash provided with a box having anextensible arm pivoted therein, anda window-frame provided with a boxhaving an extensible arm pivoted therein, the two arms being providedwith means for forming together a hinge-joint, substantially as and forthe purposes set forth.
